Sports Premium

We use sports funding to develop and enhance the teaching of PE and Sports at Blakeley Heath. Our aim is to engage all children in sporting activity and to develop a healthy lifestyle for themselves.

At Blakeley Heath we have a long history of promoting PE and competitive sport and we are committed to providing the pupils with a wide range of opportunities to engage in sport and exercise. As a result of our actions last year, Blakeley Heath was awarded the Gold Active mark Award.
